We recently returned from a vacation, rested with my family, I, my mother and brother, all people are adults, my mother and I were in Hurghada for the third time and in a 3 * hotel, we expected that this hotel would be much better than the previous one, our favorite. The price category was very high this year, so I had to go to Shedvan. There were a lot of good reviews, especially about the restaurant, but when you arrive, you understand that everything is completely different. We went from the Anex tour, the guide Yulia, a terrible habalka, met us, immediately said that the hotel was not a restaurant, but a canteen and that if we disappeared somewhere, she would not look for us until the relatives realized it.
In general, the hotel area is large, beautiful (for those who love space), three beaches to choose from according to the depth of the sea))) Bars where you can eat during the day, at some bars the waiters are rude. The rooms are in order, the only thing is that the air conditioner broke down, the refrigerator did not work, but these are trifles in principle, you can go to the reception 20 times and they will do everything for you for free. Cleaned up in the rooms on the back. Tips are very fond of and even sometimes brazenly asked, but we were not going to provide anyone. As for the "canteen", the spectacle is not for the faint of heart. Plates are greasy and dirty. All the people stand and choose a cleaner plate, the bartender comes up and asks what is it? They answer him that the plates are dirty, he went berserk and shouted "Where are the dirty ones? Take it! " Forks with knives also had to be wiped with napkins. Glasses and glasses seem to be clean, but some are cracked, which is not very pleasant. They wash!!! ! plastic glasses! This is generally tin. The cuisine is decent, but for those who want to lose weight))) The fish was not fried, there was almost never a chicken, there was boiled, dry beef and sometimes liver. What I ate was rice and chicken, if there was. Everything else is not very edible. Desserts are all the same, one biscuit is poured with different syrups. I went to eat local sweets, which I didn’t see in the hotel, but there is a famous sweet shop not far from the hotel, we went and bought them there, not at all expensive and tasty. With regards to going outside the hotel, there is nothing stashnogo there. People walk around and don't steal anyone!! ! It turns out that guides can follow you, where and with whom you went or went. I do not advise taking a taxi at the hotel, VERY expensive! We always go to the Hard Rock Cafe, from the hotel the price is $ 18 round trip, we drove by local taxi for $ 8. I also want to note the animation, it’s quite fun, who is not too lazy in the mornings, to do water aerobics, stretching and dancing. In the evenings, sometimes it is also interesting, the animators are kind and cheerful. The hotel has a free gym, even if the guides say that it is closed. In general, if you have already got to this hotel, look for the pros and do not pay anyone a tip. Happy holidays)
